Yesterday John Hinderaker at Power Line<\/a>\u00a0posted an article about\u00a0Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post, a liberal reporter who now claims to be The Fact-Checker<\/a>, and his fact checking of a recent Rick Perry speech. When asked whether there should be a Palestinian state, Rick Perry called for Palestine to denounce terrorism and to require that any Palestinian state be required to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist. Sounds pretty basic to me.<\/p>\n

The Fact-Checker replied:<\/p>\n

As part of the 1993 Oslo accords, in an exchange of letters between then Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the Palestine Liberation Organization met all of these conditions nearly 20 years ago. The letters are posted on the Web site of the Israeli Foreign Ministry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Really? Is Mr. Kessler familiar with the term ‘Intifada?’ Mr. Hinderaker points out that Palestinian children are taught that\u00a0Jews have no right to be in Palestine and the maps shown to these children show Palestine as including all of present-day Israel.<\/p>\n

The article at Power Line concludes:<\/p>\n

One last thing: Kessler thinks that Israel has nothing to fear because of a twenty-year-old letter from a dead terrorist. What is the PA\u2019s real intention, as of today? Look no farther than this<\/a>: as Scott reported earlier today, \u201cPalestine\u201d is represented in the United Nations by the heroine Latifa Abu Hmeid. What is her claim to fame? She is the mother of no fewer than four terrorist murderers, who together are serving a total of 18 life sentences. Is Rick Perry\u2019s concern about whether the Palestinians and their leaders are really reconciled to the existence of Israel unfounded? Let\u2019s be blunt: Glenn Kessler either is woefully ignorant of Middle Eastern history, or he is deliberately misleading his readers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Palestine does not want a two-state solution–they want a one-state solution with Palestine as the state. Creating a Palestinian state at this time under the current Palestinian culture would be a recipe for war–not peace. Until the schools stop teaching hate and the state stops honoring terrorists and terrorism, we need to make sure Israel is armed to the teeth. That is the path to peace in the Middle East. A weak Israel is an easy target.<\/p>\n
